Can I use this fan for inline duct installation to increase/push air to my second floor bedroom? Thanks!

The flow through this unit would probably be too large to be used this way. A better choice might be the "Panasonic FV-10NLF1 WhisperLine 120 CFM In-Line Fan, 4-Inch Duct" unit Amazon sells. I use the 120 cfm unit as an exhaust fan on a switch for a single bathroom. I use the 240 cfm unit as a vent fan on a timer for four rooms. You will probably need to connect the power to this unit through the furnace controls so that it is switched on and off with the furnace. Don't mount the fan too close to the furnace to avoid temperatures over 140 degrees.

yes you can, it moves about 250CFM about a much as a 6 or 7" air duct can handle, a bigger duct say 8 or9" will allow it to move a little more. Very quite. needs a switch or relay to control the cycle on and off. not for high heat.

If you can tie it in to your existing ductwork (and wiring), I don't see why it wouldn't just push it through.

I think it would work but you might want to look at the 120cfm model because this thing pushes a lot of air and you will hear it. I have the 240cfm unit for two rooms and ended up putting a variable speed switch to slow it down. The 120cfm only uses 37watts and would probably work well but it is only 4" . You don't want too much air flow or it may cool the air so I've heard.

I recently put an 80 cfm fan in a powder room that is also about 5 x 7 with 8 foot ceiling on main floor of two story house (length of ductwork makes some difference). I think that was a little bigger than the recommended size (I saw anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes recommended to remove the room air volume) but I didn't want to go too small. 80 cfm is plenty. Drawback of going bigger is need for larger diameter duct to make use of the fan power, a little more noise from a larger motor, and less energy efficient both due to motor and to pulling more heated or cooled air out of the house.

Yes. Our fan in in continuous use (24/7) thru the winter months to push warm air to colder parts of the house. It is quiet and efficient and trouble free.

This fan will work very well for that room! Using mine in a slightly smaller area (132 sf) and only run on low speed to circulate AC from ceiling in the warmest room in house. I believe you will be happy.

No, this is only for install directly through a wall. They do have other fans for 4 inch duct...

you should use the fan for intake. if there is enough space for air to enter

I would actually use 2 fans. One to push and one to pull. I used these for a Dish Network receiver which runs very hot inside the cabinet. I used one fan to blow air into the box and one fan to pull air out of cabinet. Works great.

I don't think so, fans are designed to suck air through one port,unless fan is reversible,do what I did and buy longer inlet ductwork.

Sure, but you might want to put a speed control on ..it pulls a lot of air..might be a little noisy too unless you mount it above the ceiling

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

Yes, I just added this fan to my new master bathroom renovation and wired it for intermittent operation. Very easy to do and directions are included. The continuous operation can be re-activated at any time.

Moves lots of air even on the lowest setting, not what I would call a quiet fan so yes too much for a bedroom in my opinion,

I would not recommend buying it for a window. First of all, it's too small to be effective in any window. Second, it is meant to "boost" airflow from your forced air furnace and/or central air conditioner. The fan is not powerful enough to move air on it's own. They, I installed two of them, weren't powerful enough to make ANY difference (not even 1 degree) in my basement.

I am assuming your bathroom does not have ventilation and you want to place the fan between bathroom and bedroom. Correct me if my assumption is wrong. I would not do that no matter which fan you use. Either make a vent out or if its a condo and has HOA rules install a ductless fan.

It's best to have too much than too little air movement. Not knowing how many lights you have (say 5 600w) with this set up I would go for at least an 8 inch duct fan. Also, get a brand name - they last forever. Hope you get it going :)

Yes. This can be installed as a low profile fan if you purchase the shorter 3 inch extender tube and use it in place of the longer tube that comes with the fan.
